WAY STATION Finding the Right Road on the Journey to Christmas A Dramatic Script to be used with The Journey of Christmas By Deborah Craig-Claar Synopsis A way station is a stopping point on a journey, or a temporary stage in a longer process. Mitchell Schuster is the somewhat reluctant inheritor of a small family gas station that is, as he says, “at the intersection of nowhere and oblivion.” Although his suitcase is perpetually packed, he never seems to be able to escape from his struggling business to take a long- planned-always-postponed Christmas trip, much less start the life he is sure God had promised him. But as the years pass, Mitchell finds himself providing a brief, but necessary, respite for various strangers on their own Christmas journeys: some need to get directions, some need to turn around and take a different route, others simply need a short rest. Spanning six decades, Mitchell learns that sometimes the greatest journey you can take is in helping others find the right road. In the process, you may arrive at a destination far different than the one originally sought: returning to the foot of a manger…and the heart of God. Key Scriptures “‘Return to Me,’ declares the LORD Almighty, ‘and I will return to you’” (Zechariah 1:3, NIV). “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for Me” (Matthew 25:40, NIV).

There should be a worn desk and chair, buried in papers and ledgers, and a small round table with several chairs around it. In one corner is a Christmas tree, decorated with an eclectic collection of handmade ornaments and “big bulb variety” lights. In a central position in the room is a large radio, clearly of an earlier decade. Various folding chairs and a small couch can also be placed in the room, in addition to a coatrack, shelves with automotive products, and even a tire or two. As the years pass, the set actually shows little change.) (On the far right side of the stage is an old worn armchair and small side table with a working table lamp. There should be a small artificial potted poinsettia sitting on the table, along with a cell phone. This area must be clearly separate from the main office set and, if possible, separately lit. This small area is set in 2016, although it seems fairly timeless.) SCENE 1 SONG: “Songs of Joy” with “O Come, All Ye Faithful” (At the end of the song, Mitchell [70] sloshes into the contemporary set, wearing a jumble of winter paraphernalia; he seems to be covered with snow. He pushes a large mop in front of him, and grumbles under his breath.) MITCHELL: Snow, snow, snow. All I want for Christmas is to hear some Perry Como on the radio, and for my bursitis to quit actin’ up…and all I get…is snow. Uninvited snow. And on December 24th to boot. No respect for the holidays. None. “All is calm, all is bright” my grandfather’s kidney plaster…OH. (Looks up abruptly, catches sight of the audience, and speaks directly to them.) I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be complainin’ like this, especially on such a blessed night. (Puts mop behind arm chair and turns back to audience.) But I am tellin’ ya the gospel truth: if there was snow in Bethlehem, Mary and Joseph would’ve turned around and headed south. (Picks up cell phone from side table, and begins to punch in a number.) The Journey of Christmas Script—4 And one of these years, I am gonna head south too. I’m gonna pack up my radio, and poinsettia, and snow boots, and…excuse me, I need to make this call… (Yelling into the phone, to the other person on the line.) Jake! Hey, it’s Mitch. (pause) Mitchell Schuster, at the Get Gas Station just up Route 78. The one you and your dad’s tow service has been using for nigh 60 years now. (pause, sighs) Yes. That’s the one. Some storm, ain’t it? Hasn’t let up since daybreak. So what’s the temperature down there in Weasel Fork? Uh huh. (frowns) 15!? That’s four degrees warmer than it is here! How’d you manage that? (listens) Well, I know you’re south, but only three miles, for heaven’s-ta-betsy-sake. (pause) Testy? Who’s testy? I’m not testy. I ain’t been testy since they discontinued Bosco. Oh, I’ve just been mopping up the snow ’cause some fool left the door open and… (pause) I’m the fool, Jake. I left the door open. I was checking the highway traffic. (pause) How was it? Well, there wasn’t any, that’s how it was. The highways may close any time now. I’m hoping my daughter Holly and her family will get through.

  • Hendrix Hits London Educator Gallery Guide
    Table of Contents: Background Information Education Goals Exhibition Walkthrough Extension Resources Background Information Hear My Train a Comin’: Hendrix Hits London The purpose of this guide is to present questions and offer information that help lead students through the exhibition and instigate a conversation about the dynamic themes highlighted therein. Hear My Train a Comin’: Hendrix Hits London delves deep into one of the most important and formative time periods in Jimi Hendrix’s career. During a nine-month period beginning in September 1966, Hendrix released three hit singles, an iconic debut album, and transformed into one of the most popular performers in the British popular music scene. In June 1967 he returned to America a superstar. This new exhibition furthers EMP Museum’s ongoing efforts to explore, interpret, and illuminate the life, career, and legacy of Jimi Hendrix. Before its installation in Seattle, Hear My Train a Comin’: Hendrix Hits London debuted at the Hospital Club, a creative exhibition facility and private club located in the heart of London. The show was on view in the UK for two months before returning to the US. While the overall theme remains the same, EMP sought to convey the look and feel of swinging London with the addition of richly patterned wall fabrics evocative of the era, interactive elements, and a chronological large-scale concert map. Hendrix: Biographical Information Students may benefit from a discussion of Hendrix’s personal history prior to the period covered in the exhibition. Born

  • Jimi Hendrix Biography - Life, Family, Name, School, Mother, Young, Son, Old, Information, Born
    3/5/2020 Jimi Hendrix Biography - life, family, name, school, mother, young, son, old, information, born World Biography (../in… / He-Ho (index.html) / Jimi Hendrix Biogr… Jimi Hendrix Biography Born: November 27, 1942 Seattle, Washington Died: September 18, 1970 London, England African American musician, songwriter, and guitarist Jimi Hendrix was one of the most original electric guitarists of all time, combining blues, hard rock, modern jazz, and soul into his own unmistakable sound. He was also a gifted songwriter. Raised by his father Jimi Hendrix was born Johnny Allen Hendrix in Seattle, Washington, on November 27, 1942, the son of Al Hendrix and Lucille Jeter. His father—a gifted jazz dancer who worked at a number of jobs, including landscape gardening—bore much of the responsibility of raising the boy and his brother, Leon, as did their grandmother and various family friends. This was due to the unreliability of Lucille, who drank excessively and who would disappear for extended periods. Al Hendrix changed his son's name to James Marshall Hendrix in 1946. Al and Lucille divorced in 1951; Al Hendrix won custody of his sons and exercised as much discipline as he could, but the boys—young Jimi especially—worshipped their absentee mother. Jimi Hendrix wanted a guitar early on. Before acquiring his first real instrument, he "played" guitar on a broom and on a one-stringed ukulele. At last Al got his son a guitar, and the twelve-year-old Jimi began to teach himself to play. Jimi restrung the guitar upside down—as a left-hander, he was forced to turn the instrument in the opposite direction from how it is usually played, which left the strings at the bottom unless he rearranged them.

  • Jimi Hendrix: „People, Hell & Angels“ – CD (Legacy/Sony Music) Vö
    Jimi Hendrix: „People, Hell & Angels“ – CD (Legacy/Sony Music) Vö.-Termin: 01.03.2013 Legacy Recordings, eine Abteilung von Sony Music Entertainment, veröffentlicht am 1. März von Jimi Hendrix die neue CD „People, Hell & Angels“. Dieses Album enthält zwölf bisher unveröffentlichte Studioaufnahmen der Gitarrenlegende. 1968 war Hendrix auf der Suche nach neuen musikalischen Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten. Während seine Experience mit zwei Alben in den US Top Ten vertreten waren und zu einem der begehrtesten Live-Acts avancierten, arbeitete er hinter den Kulissen mit alten Freunden und unterschiedlichen Besetzungen an neuen Songs. Die neue CD „People, Hell & Angels“ bietet nun erstmals einen hochinteressanten Einblick in diese Schaffensphase des Ausnahmegitarristen. Die zwölf Songs des Albums zeigen, mit welcher Experimentierfreudigkeit der Musiker ans Werk ging. Neue Sounds und musikalische Stilrichtungen wurden ausprobiert, dabei kamen viele für Hendrix untypische Instrumente zum Einsatz: Bläser, Keyboards, Percussion und sogar eine zweite Gitarre. „People, Hell & Angels“ beweist auch, dass Jimi auf der Suche nach neuen Begleitmusikern war, mit deren Unterstützung er ein weiteres Kapitel in seiner außergewöhnlichen Karriere aufschlagen wollte. Anstatt auf seine Experience- Mitstreiter zurückzugreifen, arbeitete er mit Stephen Stills von Buffalo Springfield (später Crosby, Stills & Nash), dem Drummer Buddy Miles und dem Bassisten Billy Cox. Hendrix und Cox hatten ihren Militärdienst zusammen absolviert und waren in den frühen 1960ern Bandkollegen gewesen. Jimis Schwester Janie Hendrix, Eddie Kramer und John McDermott arbeiteten als Koproduzenten an „People, Hell & Angels“. Kramer und Hendrix lernten sich im Januar 1967 in den Londoner „Olympic Studios“ kennen. Zwischen den beiden entstand eine intensive Freundschaft. Schließlich wurde Eddie Kramer zu Jimis Lieblings-Toningenieur, der jedes Album, das der Gitarrist zu Lebzeiten veröffentlichte, abmischte.

    10/10/13 Experience Hendrix at the Fabulous Fox America's News English Experience Hendrix at the Fabulous Fox Forsyth County News (Cumming, GA) - Sunday, March 21, 2010 Readability: >12 grade level (Lexile: 1310L) Author: Ira Miller; Columnist, [email protected] Jimi Hendrix died on Sept. 18, 1970. I remember the date because that was my first birthday. And even though I can't play a lick of guitar, I have inherited a love of music. If you love music, you will love being at the Fabulous Fox on Saturday night as "Experience Hendrix" heads to Atlanta. This is the fourth edition of the biennial concert tour paying homage to the music and legacy of Jimi Hendrix. Joe Satriani, Jonny Lang, Eric Johnson, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Brad Whitford (of Aerosmith), Doyle Bramhall II, Ernie Isley, Living Colour, Susan Tedeschi, Double Trouble's Chris Layton, Robert Randolph, along with original Hendrix bassist Billy Cox will be performing music written and inspired by the legend. Cox, who first befriended Hendrix when the two were in the 101st Airborne division of the US Army, played in both the Jimi Hendrix Experience and Band of Gypsys. "It's a thrill for me to play Jimi's music for audiences now as it was in the 1960s. The Experience Hendrix tours have shown how timeless this music really is," Cox said. Featured in every show are signature songs including "Purple Haze," "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)," "The Wind Cries Mary," "Little Wing" and "Red House." Kenny Wayne Shepherd, a veteran of several Experience Hendrix tours remarked: "Jimi Hendrix's music has really inspired [me] to push the limits of my own music.

As a performer and musician, his resume is so complete that there is a tendency to sit back and marvel at it: virtuoso player, sonic innovator, hit songwriter, wild stage performer, outrageous dresser, sex symbol, and even sensitive guy. But there is also a tendency, possibly because of his overwhelming image, to fail to dig deeper into the music, as Rob Van der Bliek has pointed out.1 In this study, we will look at Hendrix’s music, his performance practice, and its relationship to the mythology that has grown up around him.
